Tuition, housing costs will rise
USC’s 4.83% basic cost increase low compared to other private universities
By Tracy Wilson and Dmitri Williams
Staff Writers
The university has announced an increase in the flat tuition rate for the next school year, according to Dennis Dougherty, senior vice president of administration.
The increase is 4.83 percent over this year's tuition, raising the basic cost of attendance from $15,730 to $16,490. In addition, the cost of university housing will also rise 4.9 percent and there will be an increase in the board and dining charges. The base unit cost will rise 4.91 percent next year to $555.
Still, this year's price hikes may be a less bitter pill to swallow than many other universities' students are facing.
"All the other private (universities' tuition increases) are substantially greater than ours,” Dougherty said. "We're lower than any other private that's been announced so far."
According to Dougherty, the university's price increases are lower than any others that have been announced to date, and the costs are significantly lower than public institutions'.
"We're certainly under the public universities. They're going up 25 or 30 percent."
Administrators cite low enrollment as the chief reason for the increases. "We've had these consecutive years of small freshman classes in the university," said Bob Biller, vice president of undergraduate affairs in an in-(See Tuition, page 3)
Semester of change puts university at academic crossroads

Though the air of tension and suspense passed over the city of Los Angeles when peace prevailed following the verdicts in the Rodney King federal civil rights trial, an exodus of administrators and an influx of change hit the university this spring.

So now it's time to say farewell to Jack Borsting, dean of the School of Business, Gerald Segal, dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, Marshall Cohen, dean of humanities in LAS, and Cliff Sjogren, dean of Admissions
and Financial Aid.
We've already said goodbye to John Curry, the former vice president of budget and planning who is now working for our crosstown rival, UCLA; Cornelius Pings, provost, who is now the director of the American Universities; and Mike McGee, director of the Athletic Department, who went to the University of South Carolina.
While some of these positions have already been filled, others will have candidates vying for them over the summer, but still others may not be filled at all.
Sticking with tradition, Mike Garrett, a Trojan football star of the past, was hired as the athletic director.

Senate allocations leave tight budgets
Greeks receive money for new council, minority groups cut by $1,500
By Michelle Ladd and Tracie Tso
Staff Writers
Though a smaller budget forced the Student Senate to reevaluate its allocations, senators tried to provide groups with the same percentage of available money as last year.
"We're running at the same percentages even though the dollar amounts are down," said Don Hansen, Student Senate president.
Hansen also said the senate reorganized its offices in order to lessen overhead. The public relations and recruitment boards of senate and Program Board have been com-
bined. The new office has been allocated $45,000.
"There is good intent behind (the merger). It reduces Senate's overhead and is cost effective," said Brandon Shamim, Student Senate public relations director.
Additionally, funding for two new programs is provided under the "Extraordinary" category of the senate budget. The first, the Greek Recruitment Council, was awarded $4,60C.
Todd Carper, senate vice president, said that senate funding was a big issue in the elections because Greek students represent
such a large portion of the student body. In the past, however, they received no money from Student Senate.
"The money is good compensation considering they pay the Student Programming Fee like every other student," Shamim said.
The Greek Recruitment Council will receive no money from the Interfratemity Council nor the Panhellenic Council. The monies allocated by the senate are specifically geared toward campus wide programming, Carper said.
